Plot the points at
(-9,-5)
And
(-3,-5)
This looks right
28 + 29 + 42 = 28 + 42 + 29 = 99
Commutative property: a + b = b + a
<h3>
Answer: (4,2)</h3>
==============================================================
Explanation:
C is at (0,0). Ignore the other points.
Reflecting over y = 1 lands the point on (0,2) because we move 1 unit up to arrive at the line of reflection, and then we keep going one more unit (same direction) to complete the full reflection transformation. I'll call this point P.
Then we reflect point P over the line x = 2 to arrive at the location Q = (4,2). Note how we moved 2 units to the right to get to the line of reflection, and then keep moving the same direction 2 more units, then we have applied the operation of "reflect over the line x = 2"
So we have started at C = (0,0), moved to P = (0,2) and then finally arrived at the destination Q = (4,2). This is the location of C' as well.
All of this is shown in the diagram below.
The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.
